RockTape – Hasbrouck Heights, NJ

How does RockTape work?

Unlike rigid tape which many people find too stiff and restrictive, RockTape is stretchy and is quickly becoming the preferred tape used by practitioners and athletes.

Key benefits of using RockTape:

Assists to decrease pain

Assists to reduce swelling

Allows full range of movement

Hypoallergenic – no zinc oxide or latex

Water resistant – can be worn for up to 5 days

How does it work? When applied correctly, RockTape’s unique elasticity causes the skin to form convolutions and wrinkle. This decompresses the tissue immediately below the skin. It is believed that this has three main effects:

Fluid effect- improving blood and lymphatic flow in the taped area

Mechanical effect- improving the slide and glide between tissue layers

Practitioners use RockTape in facilitating injury recovery and prevention. It is a tool that may assist in enhancing function in their patients. Proposed mechanisms include:

Improving kinesthetic awareness

Improving postural control

Modulating muscle activation via increased afferent input

Altering pain perception through alternate afferent input

Providing a positional stimulus to correct aberrant movement patterns
